Love at the disco

I saw an old couple at a disco
Quite a few years ago 
Dancing together
Enjoying themselves...
A young woman approached them
Wanted them to leave 
For she was embarrassed...
By their loving display 
Two old, wrinkled people 
How dare they hold hands?
How dare they dance around?
Their age ravaged bodies
A disgusting show...
As I approached that old couple
They assumed I was the same 
Closed minded; prejudiced too
Would I also ask them to leave?
But I only had a few words to say
I told them how beautiful 
I thought it was to see
A loving couple still dancing together 
Openly showing their love
And I told them this also
I hoped one day 
It would also be me
